Question 430043: A bookstore reduced the price of a book with 25%. After that the sale rose by 10%.
With how many percent rose the number of sold books?
isn't simply 10% ? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the price of a book is reduced by 25%, then the book costs 75% of what it previously did. Raising that discounted price by 10%, you get the book costs 1.1
times the price of its after sale price. Thus the book costs 1.1(.75),or 82.5% of its original price.
